The above and other objects, features 'and advantages of the present invention will be more fullyunderstood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying illustrative drawings, Inthe drawings: ,1 v I Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a childs garment embodying the present invention, the garment being shown closed for wear;

Fig: 4 i-s'a section taken'on the line 4 4 of l' ig therebf and approximately at hip-level provided withfexpansion flaps 22, respectively, which may be sewn to slitted portions 23, respectively, ofthe garment body It in the manner bestshown in Fig. 3', and which serve to keep the top of the body I 6 closed circumferentially. When the outer garment I2 is closed on top of the body IBIthere'of (Figs. 1 and'2), the flaps 22 are foldedjinwardly of the-garment, and the slitted portions'23 of the l'att'er'then simulate pocket openings. Thelegs I-B and 2B are on the inside parted at 24 and 25; respectively, throughout their longitudinalextent and also across the crotch 28 (Figs. 2 and 3). 'llhe legs IB and 20 and also the crotch 28 of the outer garment are'normally closed by any suit-' able means, suchi as companion male and female snap fastener elements 30 and 32, respectively. Suitably secured, as by stitches 34,'to the top of the body I6 of the' outer garment I2 at the front "and back thereof are front and back flaps 36 and 38,-respectivaly. For closing the top of the body it of the; garment I2 around the childs waist, the adjacent ends of the front and backflaps 3(iand 38,- respectively, may conveniently be'provided with companion snap fastener'elements 42 and 44; respectively, which may be snapped closed on folding the adjacent expansion flaps 22 inwardly into the body I6. For the secure support of the outer garment I2 on a child, the back flap '38 thereof may be provided with shoulderstra'ps 4B which are provided at their free ends with snap fastener elements 49 (Fig. 3) companion elements- Sil of which are provided on the front flap 36'for the releasable attachment to the latter of the ends of the shoulder straps 46.

The-inner or undergarment I4, being in this instance in the form of rompers,. isof thecustomary baggy shape of the latter, and is in parts attachedto the body I6of the outer garment I2 so as to be held-in place therein without, how-. evenbeing interfered with, by the latter in its characteristic function .as rompers. The inner garment I4, is, in the present instance, made of. anysuitable moisture-proof plastic sheet-material which may be-fashioned in any suitable man; ner from individual pieces (not shown). Inaccordancewith its instant use asyrompers, the legs 52,.and 54 of the inner garment Mare at their open vendsgathered as at 55 on elastic bands 58,. respectively, so as resiliently to close on a. child's legs whenthe garment is worn.

Y 'Referring'to-the drawings, the reference numeral ill designates a suit or dress fora child, comprising an'outer, garment I2 and an inner or untier-garment I 4. The outer garment I2 is, in the prese'fit""instance, of a commonly used overall pattern for children, while the inner garment I4 is. in the form of rompers. The overall-type outer garment l2 comprises a body I6 on whichlegs I8 an 20, respectively, are provided; The body It of the enter garment I2 is on opposi te sides including the slitted portions 23, of the body It of the outer garment I2 (Figs. 3. and 4), prefer ably by the same stitches 34 by means of which the front and back flaps 36 and 38 are secured to the body I6. The inner garment I4 is furthermore secured, bysimple line stitching 55 and 51,.

-spectively (Figs. 2 and 4). The legs 52 and 54,

of the inner garment I' l-are, likeztlielegs l8 and 20 of the outer garment l2, parted as shown at 59 (Figs. 2 and 4) on the inside throughout their:

longitudinal extent and across the crotch 60. .The parted sides 62, 64 and B6, 68 of the legs 52" and 54, respectively, are sewed or otherwise secured to the adjacent parted sides of the legs 18 and 20 of the outer garment l2 in the fashion shown in Figs. 2 and 4, so that the legs 52 and 54 of the inner garment M will close on a -childs legs on closing the legs [8 and 20 of the outer garment I2 by means of the snap fastener elements 30 and 32. More particularly, the parted sides 62, B4 and 56,68 of the legs 52 and 54, respectively, of the inner arment i4 extend into and are secured in stitched hems 10, 12 and M, 16 on the adjacent parted sides of the legs 18 and 20, respectively, of the outer garment l2, and the male and female snap fastener elements 30 and 32, respectively, are secured to the respective hems 12, 16 and ill, 14 (Fig. 2). In order that the elastic bands 58 in the inner garment M will, on closure of the legs 52 and 54 thereof, compel the latter into resilient closing engagement with a childs legs, the bands 58 are sewed or otherwise secured with their ends to the adjacent parted sides of the legs of the outer garment 12 in the fashion shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

It will be understood from the preceding description that the inner garment M is, with the exception of its line attachment to the top, the central front and back portions and the parted sides of the legs, of the body It of the outer garment I 2, unattached to the latter and is accordingly sufiiciently free to allow the child freedom of motion unobstructed from the outergarment I2. It will be further noted from Fig. 4 that the inner garment M is throughout its top end contiguous with the adjacent top end of the body 16 of the outer garment 52, so that a child has no choice but to step correctly into the inner garment I4 when putting on the combination garment l0. Furthermore, the parted legs of the outer and inner garments I2 and 14-, respectively, dispense with the usual cumbersome task of directing the childs legs into the correct legs of conventional overall-type garments and rompsides parted throughout their longitudinal extent and across the crotch at which they meet, and

q the adjacent parted sides of the adjacent legs,

ers, for the legs of the instant garments willnot be formed or, closed until after the garments are put on a child. After the garments are put on a child, as explained, the parted legs thereof are closed about the childs legs by the simpleex- While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that variouschanges may be made in the present invention without departing from the underlying idea or principles of the invention within the scope of the appended'claims.
